How to use

From draft to publish in 3 simple practical steps

No signup, no learning curve. Compose your caption, fine-tune the visuals as needed, and copy it over to Instagram, done.

Step 1

Write or paste your content

Start by typing your caption into the editor on the left. Add hashtags, @mentions, and line breaks just like you would on Instagram. The bold styling will render automatically in the preview.

Step 2

Make it look great

Upload one image or build a carousel with up to 10 slides. Switch between 1:1, 4:5, and 1.91:1 aspect ratios to see how your visuals will crop in the feed before you commit.

Step 3

Copy and publish

When the post looks just right, click the "Copy" icon to grab your caption. Then open Instagram, upload your images, paste the caption, and post with confidence, no more last-minute edits.

Why use it

Everything you need to perfect your post

Stop publishing with crossed fingers. See exactly how your content will look, how it gets truncated, and how images render, before anyone else does.

Pixel-accurate preview

The post layout matches the Instagram feed's actual interface, same fonts, spacing, colors, and reactions. What you see is what your followers will see when your post is published.

Real-time updates

Every keystroke updates the preview instantly. No save buttons, no refresh, no waiting. Just edit your post content in real-time and watch your post come together live in the preview panel.

Multi-device views

Toggle between desktop, tablet, and mobile widths to see how truncation and image grids change across screen sizes, exactly as the platform handles it across different devices and contexts.

Smart image handling

Upload one image or many. The preview panel automatically arranges them in the platform's authentic layouts. Images stay local, they are never really uploaded to a server.

100% private

This tool runs entirely in your browser. No image is uploaded on our server, no need to create an account, and your drafts are never stored anywhere. Close the browser tab and it's gone.

Carousel & ratio testing

Switch between 1:1, 4:5, and 1.91:1 ratios. Build multi-image carousels and see exactly how the slide indicators and counter appear before posting.

Who it's for

Built for everyone who posts on social media

From solo creators to enterprise teams, anyone who cares about how their content lands can benefit from previewing first.

Marketers

Test copy variations before kicking off campaigns. See how CTAs, hashtags, and link previews render to maximize click-through. Perfect your messaging without burning real ad spend on placeholder posts.

Social Media Managers

Juggling posts across multiple brands? Preview each one in seconds before scheduling. Catch typos, awkward truncation, and image crops before they go live to thousands of followers.

Page Owners

Run a community, business, or fan page? Make sure every post represents your brand well. Preview how your announcements, promotions, and updates will appear in your followers' feeds.

Content Creators

Your content is your craft, make sure it lands the way you envisioned. Test your hook, see where truncation happens, and refine until the post is publish-ready and scroll-stopping.

Small Business Owners

You wear every hat in your business, including marketing. Skip the agency and craft pro-looking posts yourself. See exactly what customers will see before you hit publish on that big announcement.
